A condition in which there is not enough oxygen in the blood. A finding indicating decreased oxygen levels in the blood. ICD-10-CM R09.02 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 205 Other respiratory system diagnoses with mcc; 206 Other respiratory system diagnoses without mcc; Convert R09.02 to ICD-9-CM. Code History
Dependence on supplemental oxygen. Z99.81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z99.81 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z99.81 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z99.81 may differ.
nonorganic sleep disorders ( F51.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.

Sleep related hypoventilation in conditions classified elsewhere. G47. 36 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
There is no such thing as becoming "dependent on" or "addicted to" supplemental oxygen — everybody needs a constant supply of oxygen to live. If there is not enough oxygen in your bloodstream to supply your tissues and cells, then you need supplemental oxygen to keep your organs and tissues healthy.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hypoxemia R09. 02.
Reporting 95800 includes a measurement of sleep time and 95806 describes a measurement of respiratory airflow and effort.
Nocturnal hypoxemia was defined as more than 10% of total sleep time below a SpO2 of 90% (Deflandre et al., 2018).
If the amount of oxygen in the blood gets abnormally low, the rest of the body cannot function appropriately, this is referred to as sleep-related hypoxemia. While asleep, blood oxygen levels typically remain between 95 and 100 percent; however, if levels fall below 90 percent, hypoxemia occurs.
33 – Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Adult) (Pediatric)
The normal practice is to adjust O2 flow for patients to be comfortably above an oxygen blood saturation of 90% at rest. It is often, however, the case that patients need more oxygen for exercise. So for example a patient may use 2 L/min O2 at rest, but need 4 L/min with exertion.
Hypoxemia (low oxygen in your blood) can cause hypoxia (low oxygen in your tissues) when your blood doesn't carry enough oxygen to your tissues to meet your body's needs. The word hypoxia is sometimes used to describe both problems.
Drops in blood oxygen level are called desaturations. Desaturations can occur due to illnesses (like lung disease) while you are awake, but they are even more likely to occur while you are asleep. Sleep apnea is the most common cause of oxygen desaturation during sleep.
/ (diːˌsætʃəˈreɪʃən) / noun. physics the addition of white light to a pure colour to produce a paler less saturated colour.

Dependence on supplemental oxygen indicates the patient is on long term oxygen therapy. This can be reported regardless of the amount of time on oxygen each day (e.g., patient uses oxygen only at night).
April 2019. Per the 2019 Pocket Guide, pg 194, it is indicated that "Dependence on continuous home O2 (24 hours a day) is a reliable indicator of chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure. Intermittent use for exertional nocturnal desaturation is not.".
